How about a safety vault for the specimens? The car would still travel on a public road right next to public transportation. Perhaps the 'justification' needs to be reworded to - 'secure the specimens as quickly as possible, and public transportation would take 3 x longer than by private transportation increasing risk.' Otherwise, They could take a cab each time - and add on for that? Or ' specimens will be transported a low traffic hours to ensure safety and no pblic transportation is available at that time' my 2 cents........ quite an interesting topic. ________________________________ From: Research Administration List on behalf of karen d taylor Sent: Wed 2/17/2010 8:35 AM To: xxxxxx@hrinet.org Subject: Re: [RESADM-L] cars We bought a truck for a project in S America and had the paperwork drawn up before we shipped it that it would be donated to the local university at the end of the project. In the mean time, the univ agreed to insure the vehicle and got it through customs in exchange for full use of it when we were not in the field. It worked out well. That is, until the truck sank in the river.... kdt -----Original Message----- From: Research Administration List [mailto:xxxxxx@hrinet.org] On Behalf Of James L Reisert Sent: Wednesday, February 17, 2010 9:19 AM To: xxxxxx@hrinet.org Subject: Re: [RESADM-L] cars Seriously, be sure you know what happens to it. We had a truck (a Toyota from when quality apparently mattered) in Africa that was sold for cash at the end of a project. We credited the Feds for the money.

I have an NIH R01 application with a sub to a hospital in China. They will be gathering TB specimens from clinics and transporting them to their lab. In their budget, they included 15,000 for an automobile because they don't want to carry active TB on public transportation in China. Any thoughts?
